Review
The website structure is very clear: Perhaps for an adult more difficult to read than a book, but certainly for teenagers is more attractive and easy to use . Besides the appearance is very adapted to recipients with images of teenagers who are offering advice. Very important for kids this age as the same are one of the best sources of help and who more often rely because they are assuming greater empathic ability to understand their personal situations . Also the colors, font and graphic everything is adapted to the age of the recipients. In fact , as stated on the web , much of the content is designed and facilitated by adolescents.
